​​       Profile  &           Philosophy
 

I have extensive midwifery experience, working in the NHS and as a private midwife in England, prior to making the move to Australia.
I have worked in a variety of settings providing antenatal care, labour and birth. As well as postnatal care in the home, hospitals, in small community clinics and in a standalone birth centre. 

​

As a student nurse, I spent 3 months with a Community Midwife in the seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire, England. This was my inspiration to become a midwife. I loved the relationship that built between the community midwife and women in her care.


As a student midwife, I attended my first home birth and was in awe with how the story unfolded at home, such a normal, special and privileged time in a woman’s life, I was honoured to be a part of her journey. I’m passionate about continuing to provide a gold standard of care, in a calm quiet & enabling atmosphere.

​

Becoming a Private Practice Midwife in Australia is a culmination of a passion to work in partnership with women & their families. My aim is to empower & support you in your journey through pregnancy, childbirth & becoming Parents,  to help guide you to step into your power as a Woman and a Mother.
